Mid-Point Grades

Term 3 mid-point grades and comments will be posted to The Hive in BlueLink on Tuesday, April 28. Mid-point reports will be written only for classes where the teacher has concerns about a given student (low grades, incompletes, behavior, etc.). If your student is doing well in all their classes, you may not see any mid-point instructor comments.

Summer Storage Option

Each year, Phillips Academy partners with Collegeboxes to offer summer storage for boarders—because student belongings cannot remain on campus. Collegeboxes will pick up students’ belongings, store them, and deliver them to their 2026–2027 PA dorm room before the beginning of the school year. (Delivery options also include to a college or the student’s home.) There is a fee for this service. 

Please refer to this document for details, deadlines, and answers to commonly asked questions. More questions? Contact Claudia Scofield in the Dean of Students Office by email or call 978-749-4124.
